No thanks if it doesn't have Samsung Pay it's DOA.

At least you can make a watch bigger if you put on a few pounds

So they going to have to carry all the ring sizes. Seems like fun

cost like a watch, but with no screen, what shrinkflation is this?

Miniature components are more expensive. News at 11.

Ring2 will be the one to get

I figured Sammy fans would have preferred to use the ring on another appendage.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Its an intriguing product, not sure I'd pay the asking price though.

Exactly.

[Pudding McTwinkle]

Seems like a good way to lose a digit.

R7,999?!
WTF are they smoking? Time to switch to something else to smoke.

Ringsting...

i never get 1st gen items if at all. R8k is steep, like @Jam Sandwich said, proper Ringsting

Nah bro, it's all about Ring3

Isn't that what people said when smartwatches were released. I'm sure they didn't even have payment functionality either when they released .

That’s just one of the zillion features.
Tells the time, date, weather, stores music, payments and loyalty cards, gathers data, used as an alarm, notifications, flashlight, pedometer, make calls etc. etc.

Yeah, wish it had an alarm function, but this is all tradeoff vs size and battery.

I'm probably the target market for this ring, would really like it just to have daily blood pressure monitoring over a longer period where you don't have to trigger it, plus overnight as I don't find sleeping with a watch that comfortable.

Yet I can't justify that cost if you can't even replace the battery, it's e waste in 3 years.

The Apple Watch did but that's neither here nor there when you look at the overall functionality of a smartwatch compared to the ring. At the very least a watch tells you the time

I rarely use the health monitoring I already have so a ring really holds no appeal for me.
